Our website uses cookies and similar technologies (“cookies”) to distinguish you from other users of our website. Your cookie preferences can be updated at any time should you wish to change your settings. Please see below for further information on how to update your preferences.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file which is downloaded and stored on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. Where cookie technology is not available, an anonymous identifier may be used. An anonymous identifier is a random string of characters used for the same purposes as a cookie. Your browser accesses the cookie file only when you visit the website that generated it.
This helps to ease your navigation by automatically logging you in and remembering things like your preferences and what’s in your shopping basket. Cookies allow sites like Awwlcart to deliver you a personalised shopping experience.
The information stored within any given cookie can only be accessed by the website that created it and cookies are limited to communicating only the information you have disclosed to the site.
We use the following types of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
- Performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Marketing, personalisation and targeted advertising cookies. These cookies are used to track browsing habits and activity across our websites. They can be used to build a profile of search and browsing history for every visitor to that website in order to deliver personalised content to that user. The information obtained from these cookies enables us to show you relevant/personalised marketing content. In using these types of cookies, we may collect personally identifiable information about you and use this information to display targeted advertising and/or share this information with third parties for the same purpose. Any activity tracked and recorded using these cookies may be shared with third parties.
- Third-party cookies are placed by someone other than Awwalcart and may gather browsing activity across multiple websites and multiple sessions. They are usually a type of persistent cookie and are stored until you delete them or they expire based on the time set in each third-party cookie.
Duration of cookies:
Session (or Transient) Cookies
Session cookies are stored in your computer’s memory for the length of your browsing session. They become inaccessible after the session has been inactive for a time and are automatically deleted from your computer when the browser is closed. They allow you to move from page to page without having to log-in repeatedly.
Persistent (or Permanent) Cookies
Persistent cookies are stored in your computer memory and are not deleted when the browser is closed. They are used to keep your preferences for the website, so they will be remembered for next time you visit the website. They are also used to collect information about the numbers of visitors, the average time spent on a particular page and analyse shopping behaviour on the website. This information is used to find out how well the website works and where it can be improved.
Flash Cookies (or Locally Shared Objects)
Websites that contain Flash can also store small files on your computer that are used in the same way as cookies. Flash cookies can also back up the data that is stored in other cookies. When you delete cookies, your Flash cookies are not affected. So a website may still recognise you if it backs up the deleted cookie information on a Flash cookie.
